New anCnoc 18 Year Old

[William]

anCnoc have announced a new anCnoc 18 year old expression. There will initially be 6000 bottles of the anCnoc 18 year old available worldwide.

Matured in a combination of hand picked Spanish oak ex-sherry casks and American oak ex-bourbon casks which anCnoc says has resulted in a single malt which is bursting with oriental spices and toasted vanilla, with a full bodied taste and a surge of honey and caramel to finish. Bottled as we like it, in its most natural form, non chill-filtered, natural colour at 46% ABV the new whisky has an RRP of £70.

Hi William. An interesting offering and not a bad price at all if it's a a quality 18 year old. Will you be getting a sample to review? The 12 and 16 year expressions are highly rated by some pundits so I expect this one should likely rate a nifty dram.

Sounds good. I like anCnoc, the 12 is a very good into whisky to their range and despite the 40% and filtering it carries a lot of flavour.

The 16 is very good so I will look forward to getting a bottle of this. Price seems ok to me too for an 18yo, and all the better for the lack of filtering, colouring and higher strength.
